the elderly traveler

Someone wrote about a week in Rome with a much older than I am family member. With ideas for visiting the Colosseum and Vatican Museums etc. I said:

I will be 75 when next in Rome.
We will be in an apartment near your hotel. For four weeks.
Our greatest pleasure will be in wandering. Pausing, snacking. If someone asked me if I wanted a tour of the inside of some place (other than perhaps the Borghese or less well known gallery) I would say "Are you kidding, I thought that doing that stuff was a waste of time fifty years ago, why now?" I trust your capo di capi is being consulted.
There are so many interesting places near your hotel, nearer than the Colosseum. Peruse the google map, click on names, use street view.
